Took the fiesta in to Ford (Stoneacre) yesterday for them to sort out an idle problem.

Was called this morning to say I could pick it up as they didnt find the fault.

When I saw the car, I noticed it had been "cleaned"

Now... I say "cleaned" because It was BETTER than it was before. The state before was VERY dirty. not been washed for months, and someone had written "I am a cunt" in the bonnet. This was no longer visible.

The wheels were slightly cleaner. Oh yeh, and they had parked it right by a building site, so it was instantly dusty, and under a tree, which had dropped leaves and crap all over it.

Useless wankers. When I mentioned the poor job, the lady on the desk offered to take it in to wash again. I just laughed and said I would do it myself.. and asked her to tell the people that wash the cars to use common sense..

oh aye. If I had known they were going to do it I would have told them to stay the fuck away from it!

Unfortunately they seem to think theyre doing me a favour by scratching my paint...

My mate has a Fiesta ST and he always in Ford dealerships and they always wash it for him.

They must wash the car with fairy liquid or something funky because it's never a good finish.

only thing is, the people that wash the cars for the dealerships get payed by the car not by the hour.
